Ottawa’s decision to either kill or approve Trans Mountain pipeline extended to June 18 | CBC News
After a period of uncertainty last summer, the National Energy Board (NEB) endorsed the project on Feb. 22, giving Ottawa a 90-day period to make a final call.
That set up May 22 as the original deadline to either approve it or kill the taxpayer-owned project outright.

in a statement on Thursday, Natural Resources Minister Amarjeet
Sohi said a decision will now be made by mid-June to give more time for
Indigenous consultations, a sticking point in the project’s
development.
